This 2002 American LaFrance mid-mount aerial ladder (95-foot) is now serving Knightdale Public Safety as Ladder 135. Their 1997 Pierce aerial ladder (added in 2009) is headed to the shop for six months of repair work. See more photos by Lee Wilson.

Who loaned them that one? What’s wrong with the other one that it needs 6 months of work?Steve - 08/18/12 - 12:13

I believe it has a few things wrong, but the main issue is a cracked frame. The company that is fixing it is letting them use the loaner.George - 08/18/12 - 21:33

Ouch! That sounds like a super expensive fix! Good thing they have a loaner for them though, that’s greatSteve - 08/19/12 - 15:23
